Thank you for contributing this course.
That said, its legibility would be helped by some proofreading. Please accept these suggestions for improvements:
Don't randomly format words in bold, such as the word "vaguely".
"greek" -> "Greek"
"russian" -> "Russian"
"an hungarian" -> "a Hungarian"
reference: https://www.berlitz.com/es-mx/blog/gentilicios-en-ingles https://www.berlitz.com/es-mx/blog/gentilicios-en-ingles
Same rule for toponyms:
"greece" -> "Greece"
Greek proper names have different forms in English than in Spanish:
"Euclide" -> "Euclid"
reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclid https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euclid
Join sentence fragments:
"packing of particles. It was" -> "packing of particles, it was"
Capitalization, inconsistent spelling:
"euclidean", "Euclidian" -> "Euclidean"
"non-euclidian" -> non-Euclidean
Incorrect word choice:
replace:
"This fifth postulate posteriorly defined any attempt to try to prove it from other postulates of geometry."
with:
"This fifth postulate subsequently defied any attempt to try to derive it from the other postulates of geometry."
"19 th" -> "19th"
Unnecessary capitalization:
"Alternative proposed Postulate" - > "Alternative proposed postulate"
Incorrect proposition:
"Academia rejection to the proposal" -> "Academic rejection of the proposal:"
Typographical error:
"universitary" -> "university"
"Different persons came to the same idea from differents backgrounds" -> "Different people arrived at the same idea from different backgrounds."
"Standar" -> "Standard"
Contrast with the Spanish word "estandar".
"erlangen programme" -> "Erlangen program"
"EXISTENTS" -> "existence"
"lipschitz continuous" -> "Lipschitz continuous"
"elemen" -> "element"
- A_N_T_O_N_I_O 4y agoI'm hugely grateful that you took a detailed and meticulous reading of the article to find out such a large list of mistakes. Being honest, I already thought that I should have revisited with caution the legibility and shape of my language there before any submission. But my desire to share this little advance won the battle, I apologize for such a shame. I have updated the doc according to your suggestions, and including several others. I will indeed try to formalise the article early tomorrow. Once again, I can't thank you enough for your detailed feedback.
- A_N_T_O_N_I_O 4y agoI forgot to address the issue related to my indiscriminate usage of the bold. I have always been an advocate of the fast reading techniques but you are right telling me that it may be too much of it.Note: I thought that I also linked the github hosting this gitbook to further collaboration. I have also upgraded that issue.
